Corrected:

Miyava has been my good friend since we first met. I was an intern at the company that she was working at. She worked in HR, and at that time I just was my manager’s personal assistant. Miya was very nice to me and we had lunch together nearly every day. That was my first time working in a company, so I made many mistakes and she would help me a lot.* From then on, we’ve been best friends and I can’t help admiring her.

*Option 2: Because it was my first job, I made many mistakes and Miya helped me a lot.
